Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Dallas
Just about completely fed up with my current job and considering a move for a very good opportunity. Who's lived there? Pros/cons?
What I know already...
Housing market is way softer
Humidity is outrageous compare to denver
Cost of living is 9% lower in Dallas
Much better gun laws in Dallas
Weather is better in denver for me
More open water in Texas
mountains outside Denver
I've never been under that impression. Maybe now after the recent laws.Originally Posted by Hotchef181818
"There are no finger prints under water."
Never lived there, but had family living in Plano and McKinney (McKinney is just North of Dallas) for a lot of my younger life and there is only one thing I can say about N. Texas:
"There is no news in the truth, and no truth in the news."
"The revolution will not be televised... Instead it will be filmed from multiple angles via cell phone cameras, promptly uploaded to YouTube, Tweeted about, and then shared on Facebook, pending a Wi-Fi connection."
The heat and humidity will be my biggest struggles. Having a second kid on the way is pushing me to make a transition to a job with better earning potential sooner than I had planned.
I was born and raised in Houston (I know...that's not Dallas but they're similar). That's why I live in Colorado now. I don't think the gun laws in TX as a whole are that much better than in Colorado. But if the opportunity is good it may not come around again.

Don't wanna get shot by the police?
"Stop Resisting Arrest!"
What I've heard.
TONS of people moving in daily. Massive amounts of construction. Property taxes through the roof (offset by no income tax but still)
no open carry. And they heat would just plain suck. Democrats have their eyes set on that state, good possibility of becoming a Colorado like purple.
And then there is the heat.
Progressive ideology, ideas so good they must be mandatory.
Your freedom to be you includes my freedom to be free from you.
Dude: don't do it
I used to commute there once a month for 2 weeks at a time...longest 6 month of my life.
if you think traffic is bad here, it's worst there.
Hot, humide, flat, and honestly I wasn't really fond of the people I met there...Like: all of them. They have a major ego, just like californians, they think they invented EVERYTHING, even hot water....
I probably met more liberals in Dallas than anywhere else.... Some of the burbs are the opposite, but you'll spend your life in your car with nowhere to go.....Wait, did I mention it's flat?
The few lakes (water holes) are nasty during the week-end and over crowded.
School districts are not the best in the nation, except if you can afford to live in Plano / Frisco. I was offered relocation, I declined, all of my co-worker who took it (back in 2006) have now either moved back, or moved somewhere else.
On the plus side: real estate is cheap-er, no state income tax.

One more thing: My best friend is a real estate agent here in Littleton. In the last 12 month she sold more houses, condo, cabins to people getting out of TX than coming from anywhere else.

I guess I left out an important detail. I'm looking at Plano, not Dallas.
Lotta traffic there....
